Just bought a set of matte black front grilles. I can't decide on my own if I like them all black or if I should have the outside trim painted alpine white to match my car. What do you guys think? What do most of you have?

I once considered doing just that with my matte black grills to match my titanium silver car. But the thought of rock chips swayed me otherwise. I kept mine all black. Goes well with the M-tech lower grill black/black. Anyway, I've also seen several AW E60 with painted outer grills and they look good! For AW, I say paint it; just make sure you get layers and layers of paint on there to minimize chipping.
